#ArtTherapy self-made with fruit tea. I feel like a wrung-out piece of cloth, drained of all blood. After a few weeks of sheer horror as a #caregiver, then hellish knee pain. (Here in rural France, I have to wait 1 month for a radio/echography.)

But at last, I’m hungry for #art again. Preparing #gauze for an #paperArt #textileArt #artBook with intuitive #embroidery and #collage. 🩸 #Stitching helps me against the pain, and I love this artificial tea blood. 🧛‍♀️ Still searching for a theme ...

A very nice demonstration video about how to effectively pack a wound with a bleeding artery, using z-fold gauze.

Pressure has to be applied directly to the bleeding artery, to stop the bleed, not just pack the cavity full of gauze.

While #haemostatic #gauze is great, if you don't have it available normal gauze will also do a good job. Multiple gauze packages may be needed.

A Guide to Haemostatic Gauzes:

https://medtree.co.uk/blog/a-guide-to-haemostatic-gauzes/

This article is a couple of years old now, but still provides a good overview of the different types of clotting agents used in #haemostatic gauzes; chitosan vs kaolin. There’s been a proliferation of new haemostatic #gauze products on the market lately, e.g. from #RhinoRescue, but this article remains worth reading.
